Springfield Arts Commission Announces City Hall Gallery Reopening

The Springfield Arts Commission is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibit of Patrick Kalita’s art at the Springfield City Hall Gallery this Friday, October 14, from 5:00pm – 7:00pm.

Patrick Kalita is a self-taught painter in Springfield, Oregon. While his educational background is in engineering, he has always been interested in creating art. He started developing his current visual vocabulary of knots, links, and braids in 2016. While his compositions have mathematical underpinnings and are realized using technical drawing techniques, the goal is always to create a visually intriguing design that stands on its own. Patrick’s work has been shown at Emerald Art Center, Maude Kerns Art Center and New Zone Gallery.

Kalita’s works will be on display through October. The reception is free and open to the public and will feature live music by Bob Ragan and Slightly Retro Jazz.
